Description
Suburban climbing at its highest level of expression unfolds at Division Wall. Convenient, crowded on the weekends, zip for approach, well-constructed, half-rope climbs on killer limestone all await the hike averse. If you like sleeping in after a long day at the crags, this is the place to be.
Division Wall actually has upper and lower sections, but why hike to higher ground when you can have 25 to 30 routes to choose between by staying close to camp? Division Wall has warm-up routes in abundance, a slew of 5.11, 5.12, and a bit of 5.13. The rock has cleaned up with use, some friable edges seem always to pop off here, and on our last visit did not seem too greasy.
If you come to AF, you cannot miss the Division Wall classics like Liquid Oxygen, Isotoner Moaner, Division, Teenagers in Heat, and on and on. Just do it.

Getting There
Drive 1.3 miles up from TCNM to the Little Mill campground. Arrive on Friday night and you are likely to find a camp site, but never on Saturday. The Division Wall is right behind campsite 64.
Alert
The Little Mill Campground hosts have asked that climbers slow down and observe the speed limit in the campground (10mph). Apparently there have been several close calls with speeding vehicles and small children in the campground.Classic Climbing Routes at Division Wall

The belay areas looked awesome today, 8/4/14, thanks to the SLCA. Thanks! Aug 4, 2014
The SLCA and Access Fund Conservation Crew started to stabilize the staging area at the Division Wall last year. We need your help to finish this project this year August 1st, 2015. Please SIGN UP for the Adopt a Crag HERE. saltlakeclimbers.org/adopt-… Jul 17, 2015
Thanks to everyone that has volunteered and for the patience and support of the climbers we encountered at Division. Special thanks to John Ross for his commitment to the project as well as his garage-tech, slide hammer method for removing the sleeves and cones of the ubiquitous, Rawl 5-piece bolts. This helped us reuse the majority of the old holes. Climbtech's Wave bolts were invaluable as the best available anchor system for the sometimes wet and/or chossy limestone.
As a reminder, the agreement with the Forest Service, documented in the Ruckman guide, specifies:"...No new routes in Little Mill Campground; Quickdraws cannot be left overnight on any route in Little Mill Campground..." The community has done a great job of adhering to these conditions for the most part, and the FS has reciprocated support of climbing activities by providing day use parking and financing the ongoing stabilization of staging areas. Let's keep up the good work, and if you want your 2 draws back from the Abyss, contact the SLCA.
Here's some more info on the project:
- 182 out of 205 bolts were replaced over the course of 9 work days.
- On-site volunteers contributed over 150 hours to the project.
- Training and oversight was provided by the SLCA.
- Existing stainless steel bolts from past re-bolting efforts were generally left in place.
- Wave bolts made up 95% of the bolts placed.
- Anchor sets consist of 316 SS, 5/16" quick links, between the 316 SS Wave bolts and high-test, plated- steel, 3/8" chain painted with a self-etching primer.
- Over 80% of the old holes were re-used with exceptions due to: sheering or stripping of old bolt heads while attempting to unscrew corroded studs from the sleeves/cones or improved micro-sighting of an anchor within a couple of feet from the old location.
- Three, high traffic, moderate routes saw more significant changes. Brian Smoot suggested that adding one bolt to the sum total was an acceptable compromise in addressing safety concerns specific to Black Hole, Physical Therapy, and Teenagers in Heat.
- Un-embedded Fixe adhesive bolts that had come loose were pulled and re-installed on Deep End.
Its been a great first project for WARI. Weve been able to implement methodologies that can be applied across the various limestone climbing areas in the Wasatch. Division definitely had some of the oldest bolts (25 years+), but the clock is ticking on a growing backlog. Well be moving on to other crags in American Fork canyon and elsewhere, expanding the initiative as we go.

DIVISION WALL, AMERICAN FORK CANYON ADOPT A CRAG

What: Help the SLCA and the Forest Service finish the staging area at the Division Wall. Bring water and snacks. Long pants, close-toed shoes, helmets, gloves, sun protection and sunglasses are required. The SLCA has extra gloves, helmets, and eye protection. Expect heavy lifting and physical work.
An Adopt a Crag is about giving back to the climbing areas we use on a regular basis. It is important that we make an effort to maintain and care for our climbing areas in order to keep them open. Climbing is a privilege and not a right. Give back to your crag and volunteer with us today.
When: 9am-2pm
Where: Meet at the Division Wall. Consider car-pooling from Salt Lake or before the tollbooth in American Fork. Drive 1.3 miles up from Timpanogos Cave to the Little Mill campground to find the Division Wall.
